A gripping new psychological thriller from S. J. Watson

Final Cut takes place in Blackwood Bay, an ordinary place home to ordinary people. Once a buzzing seaside destination, it is now a ghost town, ravaged by dwindling tourism and economic downturn—making it the perfect location for film-maker Alex to shoot her new documentary.

The community, however, is deeply suspicious of her intentions. After all, nothing exciting ever happens in Blackwood Bay—or does it?
